Spring 2026 Election: Candidates for HUA Co-Presidents

Amira Abugararah & Jack Sennott

Amira & Jack's Platform

We’re Amira Abugararah and Jack Sennott, and we are running for HUA to create a Harvard where student voices are not just heard, but where student voices hold power. We believe the direction of Harvard should be decided by students, not donors; from classrooms, not board rooms; from people on our campus, not politicians.

Harvard is at a turning point. It has defended itself against attacks this past year, but it has too often failed to stand for its students. Overnight policy changes, restrictions on campus organizing, vague emails in crisis situations.

These failures happen because students have no decision-making power on university policies. We are running because the student body mandates change in this era – to take back our voice, bring our community back together, and build the Harvard we deserve.

Zach Berg & Daniel Zhao

Zach & Daniel's Platform 

Hi everyone, we are Zach Berg and Daniel Zhao, and we could not be more excited to be running for HUA co-president to Re-Center Students. We come from different parts of campus. Zach is a History and Government concentrator interested in academia. Daniel is a Math and CS concentrator interested in industry.

We both love this school, but we fear that the administration has become out of touch with students. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with “recentering academics,” the administration has hid behind this slogan as they consistently deprioritize students in the name of institutional prestige and macro-level success.

Because we believe that this college is more than the grades we get, what we do after graduation, or how Harvard looks in the media, we are launching our campaign to use the HUA’s power to Re-Center Students.

Isaac Kambamba Delaney & Tobias Elbs 

Isaac & Tobias' Platform 

Hello, fellow undergraduates! We're Isaac Kambamba Delaney and Tobias (Tobi) Elbs, and we are running for the HUA Co-Presidency!
As all-international ticket, we both come from vastly different personal and academic backgrounds, enriching our understanding of our diverse undergraduate communities.

This has led us to the realization that the position of HUA Co-Presidents is one defined by service to the undergraduate community. We bring together extensive experience within the HUA, the international body, and our FGLI communities, and a deep commitment to making this institution more inclusive and effective. Together, we are enthusiastic about building the Harvard you came here for.

Gabrielle & Joshua's Platform 

Rooted, we Rise

We’re Gabi Demuren and Joshua Eneji, running to build a Harvard grounded in community and growing in hope! At a time when we feel the weight of external challenges and sudden institutional changes, we believe all students deserve an intentional community. Together, we can build that bridge and create an actually transformative Harvard experience for every single student.

Our campaign stands on four pillars: leadership, service, advocacy, and community. As Co-Presidents, we will:

• Strengthening communities by uplifting the work of student organizations and Senior Class Committee through increased funding, expanded grant opportunities, and timely dispersals.

• Advance student priorities like laundry and printing subsidies, mobile IDs, and more equitable campus access

• Expand representation by increasing student voting power on key committees and creating clear, consistent feedback channels

• Build leadership pipelines by connecting students to meaningful opportunities across campus through our pillar-based initiatives

• Revitalize service by bringing back impactful HUA programs and strengthening partnerships with groups like PBHA and CPSES

Dillon Dukes & Ahmed Eldeeb

Dillon & Ahmed's Platform 

We’re running for HUA Co-Presidents to deliver a student government that actually works for students — one that advocates, delivers results, and improves everyday life at Harvard. With experience inside the HUA and a fresh perspective from outside of it, we are uniquely positioned to drive real change and build a stronger, more accountable HUA.

Our campaign is focused on five priorities:

• Academic Excellence Should Be Rewarded — Not Limited

• Make Harvard More Affordable and Accessible

• Build a Stronger Harvard Community

• Empower Student Organizations with Funding and Support

• Bring Accountability and Transparency Back to the HUA

Ali Sediqe & Manuel Fernandez 

Our campaign is focused on four priorities:

● Real Representation

We’ll push for student representation on the AdBoard to ensure students are providing input in every College-wide decision that affects us. This also means more town halls and opportunities to discuss changes with senior faculty to make decision-making transparent.

● Academic Opportunity & Flexibility

We’ll expand opportunities such as allowing undergrads to take J-term courses at other Harvard schools, creating double secondaries, and ensuring we allow for students to shop more courses and take classes across a wide variety of subjects.

● Safety & Security

In light of recent events across universities, we’ll advocate for stronger safety measures and clearer communication to ensure students feel secure. This includes ensuring all buildings require swipe access.

● A Student-Centered Harvard

Harvard is Harvard because of students. The college is too focused on unrelated and bureaucratic issues. We need to center Harvard around students, ensuring our organizations receive proper fundings and students receive proper support in all facets of life, academically, mentally, and socially.
